Alex Albon struggled to get comfortable with his car during his 18 months with Red Bull – but now feels at one with his machine at Williams.
The 26-year-old might have been fretting that his Formula 1 career was over after 18 months as a Red Bull driver. Following underwhelming results, Sergio Perez was brought in to replace him and there was no other seat on the grid for the British-Thai racer to fill in 2021.
So Albon raced in DTM while also completing the duties of a reserve driver that year. Red Bull still had him on the books, but Albon admits he was never at all comfortable driving their cars after making the unexpected step from sister team Toro Rosso.
